    Intriguing Tamiya Ad

    in General discussions

    Posted

    the add says "in 2008,tamiya will conquer new ground" well, they have made a 2wd competition buggy (dyna storm) 4wd trf buggy,1/8 truggy,nitro monster trucks,and various nitro 1/10 cars.

    about the only thing left will be a 1/8 buggy :D

    maybe thats part of the reason David Jun and Jimmy Jacobsen havnt been racing the TNX lately.they might be doing full on R@D on a 1/8 race buggy

    today i cleaned up my buggy work space a bit, watered some of the yard,painted my hotshot re re shell and layed a few more coats onto my HI-Lift shell.

    tomorrow after work i will put 2 last coats on the Hi-Lift then leave it for a few days then mask the shell to paint the bonnet and tray,maybe even a stripe down the side of some sort, not sure yet.after thats all done, a few coats of pearl clear should finish it off nice. :P

    what have you done today?

    today i done some more moving.

    then i done some watering in my new yard,1 acre requires some effort haha.

    started getting my TNX 5.2 ready for racing tomorrow,going to race the new one i bought off www.tamiyatrucks.com to see how she goes.should be fun.

    then i spotted the 1/8 R/C XBG TNX5.2R Champagne Gold Edition ,wonder what that looks like.

    what did you get up to today

    ps Madaz,when you get the Hotshot i will have to come up so we can take the hotshots for a run :P ive got an old blue endbell endurance motor in mine,looks kinda like a sport tuned

    ive just bought a house and have been moving.first load was all my rc gear.

    looked at the room where they are to live and gave it a sweep.room needs some work.its a 2 level house and the buggy room is downstairs.it needs sealing up properly and painting and an aircon in the future.

    anyway, 4 ute loads and 2 trailer loads so far and we have gotten most of the large gear moved,what a mission.now its getting all the small **** and putting it in boxes or whatever so we can clean the old house up and get the bond back.cant wait to just be finished moving,and sit back on the verandah with a Jim can and listen to the silence.

    next doors dog almost lives at our place which makes my life hard,its friendly but i have 3 dogs myself and the yard has no fences as yet.so i put them out on a runner but with the other dog wandering around freely, mine get jelous.so a fence has got to go up soon.1 acre block is a large fence lol.

    gona be a while before i get to bust out the buggies but i might try get the TNX 5.2 up to race in townsville on sunday next week.

    what did you do today?

    Any Info On A Silver Snake Nitro?

    in Other makes

    Posted

    my first nitro was a silver snake, and then i got a great vigor bone crusher as a backup (also same as duratrax)

    it used to chew out the idler gear if you were doing lots of doughies but usually it was pretty good.i had a force factory pro .12 in mine and it hauled ***.

    overall they are a good bashing truck

    haha, yea madaz, you wont find much in stock for tamiyas anywhere,sad but true.and what toyworld has is really dear.

    as for radios,spectrums these days are the big one, they dont have crystals and dont suffer from glitching etc,quite good actually.

    most batteries that Herc hobbies have are pretty much matched racing batteries,ive been hasseling them to get in cheap packs but im not sure if they are listening.ive also been hasseling them to get some mod motors etc too, as most of the ones under the counter are high maintainance race motors.my mates part owner of HERC Hobbies (High End Radio Control) so i have been trying to get him to get some other stuff apart from full spec race gear,but if you dont see anything,a lot of the time its in boxes as they are about to expand the shop.

    these 2 mobs are aussie and sell good stick packs that have lots of power cheap http://www.feralbatteries.com.au/category.aspx?id=%2022

    as for what i have dont today,ive started packing my buggy room up as we just bought a house and get the keys on the 3rd of september.my last move, no more rentals YAY :rolleyes:

    once im settled in i will make a small track in the backyard for me buggies (bought a house on an acre)
